8/10: Back to 31

NY's season high is 31 games over .500, which they hit last week just after the trading deadline and just before they shit the bed against BAL (thanks Sonny) and then four times against BOS (thanks everyone else), five straight losses which pushed them back to 26 games over .500.

Well, four wins later and they are in position to get back to 31 games over with a win tonight, current staff ace Masahiro Tanaka (0.46 ERA in his last 3 starts, and 26 Ks in 19.2 innings) faces lefty Mike Minor. Minor doesn't have much history with Yankee batters, but he has faced Stanton 29 times, 4 HRs, 8 walks, 4 other hits, and a 1.470 OPS. Hit someone good behind him tonight, Aaron, Hicks maybe.

Walker did homer last night against a lefty. In his career, he is clearly a better lefthanded hitter but he has hit .259 in 1,014 PAs from the right side, .682 OPS.
Maybe you need to let Walker ride out his hot streak instead of benching him for a fat guy.

On July 19, 1961, the Yankees dropped two games to the Washington Senators, the second by a 12-2 margin. Yanks won 109 games that year. Coup was 14 that summer. He locked himself in the basement for two weeks.

Guys, I’m starting to dislike Boone. I’ll plant that seed and see if it grows. I just can’t understand anything he does from the lineups to the bullpen moves to the decisions to leave struggling starters in. He’s likable and the players seem to all like him but I’m slowly turning on him.

He's what I expected, mediocre at best. The lineups I think are fine and not totally under his control, but the in-game decisions have not inspired confidence most of the year. I would be fine with firing him, honestly.

We lived in an apt, the basement had a laundry and a boiler room, and how did 1961 wind up Terry ?
